comments (from librarian co workers, library staff, friends, college age student workers; mostly in person, but also some responses via email):
"slow"
"boring"
"long"
"The music is good and suits it well- seems very introspective"
"Daniel Day Lewis is hot!"
"might want to check copyright of the images- can you use them if they're going to be on youtube"
"the background works well"
"What is Bafta?"
"An Academy Award is an Oscar right?"
"Why not just list all the awards"
"Not sure if it will hold interest for the entire presentation- everything can be said shorter and the music makes me sleepy"
"Don't really get the "who are we protecting" part. I kinda get it but not really"
"Might be a bit aggressive; your slogan is kinda "in your face" and the last part about "the parents should be the one to judge" might not go over well- It's the library board of directors who make the decision not the library staff, remember that"
"I thought you wanted better manga and rated r movies, what's up with the "who are we protecting"? "Who ARE we protecting? I'm confused."
Redid storyboard and concept based on comments. Wanted to add more comedy and more focus. refocused the advocacy to focus on rated R movies in particular.

*discovered Prezi and Screen o Matic* However, Screen O Matic does not allow you to record with music. While it made the presentation much more visually interesting, I'm still content with my changes. Prezi presentation below
Next attempt: audio to go with slide show (audio below) (I don't have enough space to load the slideshow but you're not missing much and most of it was incorporated in the final product)
"You have a good point about the books; we have a lot of books in here that are pretty much just porn lets be honest"
"I like the transitions, how the titles pop in and then disappear like "we don't have those movies here"
"Are you sure phantom of the opera was rated R?"
"The Patriot was a shitty movie, do you really want to use that as an example"
"I don't think you need to go on about what 50 shades of grey and stuff are about, I think the title are enough"
"I thought you wanted this to be funny? It's cute but kinda serious. When you said "PSA" i was thinking those old 1990s PSAs"
"I wouldn't use the music, can't really hear your voice over it"
"Really? handcuffs? Why can't you just use the book covers in your presentationAre the copyright police really going to hunt you down for using images for a class?"
"You need more pictures"
"I like <rethink rated r> it's catchy"
final product (filmed scenes were spontaneous; slide part taken from original script)
comments
"I laughed so hard! You have a good point though. Your library doesn't have rated r movies?"
"your blinking was killing me"
"you kinda look like your voice was dubbed"
"You seriously have a good point about books. you should put this on the library facebook page"
"I love how the pictures matched the stuff about Glory that was really cool. "
"I don't get the 451 reference. That came out of nowhere"
"The Fahrenheit 451 reference made me laugh. That is where it's from right?"
"Well I'm convinced"

Initial goal- convince library to stop censoring teen materials- video should also inspire teens to advocate for this
Dr. JM: "it is the administrators NOT the youth who are making the decisions to limit students' access, right?
Who are you trying to convince with your story? The teens? or the adults? Would you consider choosing one or the other audience?"
librarian coworker "might be better if you simplify it; admins are very easily distracted ;-)"
targeted goal: convince library systems to allow rated R movies into the library. Target video towards administrators.
First attempt
Catch Phrase: Who are We protecting?
